Overplayed Rock Songs

rammetal7 · 06-15-2010, 07:33 PM

The radio play the same song constantly, whither it be classic or modern rock, so post here rock songs that you think are overplayed,
and for an extra, post a song they should play instead of the overplayed one.

Enter Sandman By Metallica- It is the song that got Metallica famous, but with rock radio, it seems like the only song that they have, but it is not, DJs play Wherever I May Roam, Damage Inc. or Harvester Of Sorrow instead

Led Zeppelin in general gets played way too much on Toronto stations. I'm sick of it.

Oh god, where do I start?

modern rock:

-questionable, since maybe the peak of this has gone. Anyways, instead of this, could you play, oh yeah, SOME OF KoL HALF DECENT STUFF?

- See Use Somebody (replacing Kol with Weezer), only this is WAY less played
- ANYTHING but this. Okay? I don't have a specific request
- Gee, I dunno, maybe some of the rare GOOD INDIE MUSIC OUT THERE!?
- see above
- okay, this is probably the least overplayed song in the list. When it comes on, and I have controll of the radio, I still usually leave this on. That doesn't change the fact that's it's Muse's worst single and they could be playing other Muse stuff. Ya 'know, the stuff that made them one of my favorite bands.

Classics:
- Well, I love most 80's hard rock that borders metal (Ozzy Osborune, Guns 'N Roses, AC/DC, you name it). This is one of the few songs of that genre I genuinely hate, and I know I'm suposed to love this if I'm into that.

nothing else really on the top of my head... I'll make a second post later.

Overplayed rock songs of the past: "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam. When I was in high school I felt like there was no escape from this song.
